American principles of government have been hailed the world over. They have brought "A More Perfect Union" to a nation; they can do the same for the home. The ideas of a supreme creator, self-evident truths and absulute values for some have been cast aside like tattered relics, but for parents of faith they liberate and illuminate by establishing the philosophical and practical ground rules for governing according to "just and holy principles."
